Searching for Brahmaloka
0:40 - 1:59 (79 min)
The eternal sacrifice for dharma manifests across all ages. In every yuga, divine and demonic forces engage in perpetual struggle. The crucifixion of Jesus represents one such sacrifice, not an isolated event but part of a timeless pattern where beings offer themselves for universal well-being. This battle is like cultivating a field where weeds grow stronger than the planted crops, requiring constant vigilance. Heaven or Svargaloka is a temporary realm for those with good karma, not final liberation. True dedication requires free will and selflessness, exemplified by the sage Dadhichi who donated his bones while alive to forge a weapon against evil. Spiritual practice, like a well-trodden path, must be consistent to prevent the weeds of karma from regrowing. Success depends not on intellectual knowledge but on obedience to the master and the continuous repetition of divine names amidst daily work.
"Whenever the dharma is getting humiliated and adharma is growing, I come to destroy adharma and to establish the dharma again."
"Take all my bones, and each and every bone I donate."

Vishuddi Chakra and thyroid gland
1:40 - 1:58 (18 min)
Desire is a poison. In myth, gods and demons churned the ocean, producing a poison that threatened all creation. Śiva drank it but held it in his throat, which turned blue, earning him the name Nīlakaṇṭha. Similarly, we hold poison in our own throats. This is the psychological poison of swallowing harsh words—from a spouse, a boss, or colleagues—without retaliation. This suppression is linked to ailments like thyroid problems. The viśuddhi cakra at the throat is where this purification must occur. Its symbols include a strong elephant, representing the capacity to bear burdens, and Brahmā, the creator who holds the Vedas, representing wisdom. His consort Sarasvatī, with her sitar, represents the purifying power of sound. The chakras contain mantras in their petals, corresponding to the Sanskrit alphabet. The journey upward is careful; the Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine. These are symbols for an inner process. Understanding and purifying the five bodies—physical, mental, energetic, wisdom, and bliss—is essential. Do not get lost in contradictory advice from different teachers. You must practice to achieve.
"Śiva said, 'For the sake of all vegetation, and other creatures and humans, I will drink the poison.'"
"If you can clean this problem, then it is wisdom. If not, then you are again gone down."

Yoga in Daily Life: Health Promotion in the Czech Republic
2:10 - 2:23 (13 min)
Yoga in Daily Life systematically promotes health in the Czech Republic. The system began here in 1973, based on the traditional concept of Vedānta. It offers training on four levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual, for everyone regardless of background. This aligns with the national health strategy, which now explicitly includes spiritual health. New government action plans until 2020 target areas where yoga can directly contribute: promoting physical activity, proper nutrition, mental health, reducing risky behaviors, and mitigating environmental stress. The system's sophisticated, methodology-unique techniques make it suitable for research and intervention programs, with publications available for specific health groups. The association has grown to become the largest in the country, with a widespread network of centers offering lessons.
"The state belongs to those that allow and highly appreciate cooperation with public, private, and non-governmental organizations."
"This harmonizing of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual level, is truly the only chance to keep peace and development in our society."

Keep your spirituality

Time's passage is inevitable, and the continuity of life proceeds regardless of human effort. The sunset symbolizes this natural progression into age and reflection. Youth is preoccupied with action, while age brings contemplation of legacy and what slips away. Society often dismisses the elderly, yet true value lies not in appearance but in accumulated wisdom. Gray hair signifies hard-earned insight, not something to disguise. The essential support in life's dusk is spiritual light and lineage, not worldly achievements. Having children continues a lineage of dignity, but its quality depends on spiritual purity, not mere birth. True continuity is found in authentic spiritual practice and association, not in crowds or mixed intentions.

The completness of our being
4:50 - 6:01 (71 min)
The eternal journey of the soul is understood through the body. The body is a house where God speaks. Every creature operates by this divine intelligence, evident in the coordinated flight of birds or movement of fish. The soul occupies this body, which is like a chariot pulled by ten horses—the five senses of perception and five of action—controlled by the mind. To understand the soul, first understand and purify the body. Control hunger and thirst. Purify emotions like jealousy, which attack the body. Yoga and prāṇāyāma are sciences for this purification, not acrobatics. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life-giving nourishment. Our actions, or karma, generate reactions, causing the soul to journey through various realms. This journey is like a blind person circling a hall, missing the door to liberation due to desires. The soul takes different forms based on karma. Human life is a rare chance to end this cycle through purification and right understanding.

Kundalini, chakras, and consciousness
6:05 - 7:06 (61 min)
We explore the soul, chakras, and the oneness of consciousness. Every creature has chakras and an effect on nature. Our skin is a vital protective layer connected to these energy centers. Misusing chemicals on our skin or harming animals creates negative karmic effects. The individual soul, or jīva, is like a drop of water. All drops originate from and return to the one ocean, which is the universal soul or paramātmā. Our bodies are mostly water, circulating like rivers seeking the ocean. The chakras are round energy centers, like the symbol of the sun. All major religions point to the same divine principle, often expressed through sacred sound like Oṃ. Our nervous system contains thousands of channels connecting these centers. Kundalini awakening is the conscious vibration of energy through every gland in the body, not a physical ascent. You already possess this divine consciousness. Realization comes from understanding you are part of the one ocean, not a separate drop.
"All this living jīva is only one. We are all one, but we are separated."

Development and Chakras
7:10 - 8:24 (74 min)
The classical temple dance Bharata Nāṭyam is a 5,000-year-old symbolic language of art, spirituality, and yoga. Each movement and rhythm is mathematically precise, conveying that a higher power exists beyond the material world. Its essence combines expression, melody, rhythm, and dance to communicate eternal truths.
The mind, governed by the moon, is connected to emotion and the svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. This chakra's six petals, like greed and anger, affect the individual. Their influence rises to the ājñā chakra, the seat of intellect and discernment. One must purify these energies. Worldly possessions create slavery; true wealth is spiritual knowledge, which must be shared. A story illustrates misunderstanding spiritual instruction. A father's testament gave wise advice for living, but the son interpreted it literally, wasting his inheritance. The true treasure was hidden, revealed only by correctly understanding the guidance. The key is within. The ājñā chakra is the command center. Its essence is represented by the bīja mantra Oṁ and the sounds ha and ṭha, forming Haṭha Yoga, which awakens inner wisdom.
"Indian dance is a symbolic language. It elucidates through metaphor that there is not only a material world, but also a higher power."
"Ājñā means order, the boss. And there are two bīja mantras... Oṁ... and the other bīja mantra is ha and ṭha in the cakra... Together it becomes yoga, so Haṭha Yoga."

How to control the problems
8:30 - 9:38 (68 min)
The Viśuddhi Chakra is a center of immense energy and responsibility, holding the poison we swallow from life.
This poison is the negative words, thoughts, and energies from others that we internalize, blocking our throat center. It manifests as physical ailments like thyroid issues and as fear. Fear is essential for safety; without it, we are in danger. This emotional poison must be purified through correct meditation. Do not run away by imagining distant, beautiful scenes. You must go within yourself to solve problems. The human being is composed of five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the wisdom body, and the bliss body. Our true self is the soul, which is one and indestructible. To navigate this, we need a master and practice. Ego in thinking you need no master leads to disaster. A true Satguru's guidance and mantra, practiced diligently like a mala even in sleep, are essential. They provide the awareness on the path. All techniques and knowledge ultimately flow from that one source. Concentrate on your inner self, not on external distractions.
"Meditation—different kinds of meditation... but from all this we run away."

Pranayama and Kundalini
10:45 - 11:57 (72 min)
A guide to post-meal practice and the subtle body.
Sit comfortably after eating, ideally in Vajrāsana, to aid digestion. Relax the entire body systematically from fingers to toes, feeling the connection through the Vajranāḍī. Warm the palms and place them over the ears to feel resonance, then perform gentle neck and head movements to relax the stomach and aid the nervous system. Purification of the primary nāḍīs is essential for health. The three main channels are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and the central Suṣumnā. Blockages in Iḍā or Piṅgalā can lead to physical imbalances. Practice nāḍī śodhana prāṇāyāma to purify these channels. Balance is crucial; practice both sides equally. Advanced techniques involve breath retention, but beginners must avoid this to prevent strain. These practices support the subtle body—the mental and energetic sheaths—leading towards clarity and freedom from the physical confines.
"Relax your stomach. Feel relaxed your intestines. This is the best for our body and our constitution."

Yoga and the creation
12:05 - 13:33 (88 min)
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, uniting the individual with the divine. Consciousness existed before creation in empty space. From that consciousness came resonance, the primal sound Aum, which is the beginning of all creation. This resonance manifested as light and then as Śiva, the principle of pure consciousness. From this, 8.4 million life forms emerged, including humans. All beings share one consciousness, just as all water shares the same essence. The human body contains this knowledge within. The five sheaths, or kośas, are the physical body, vital energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. The mind is the most powerful force. Humans possess great potential for development, yet also face the choice between elevating or degrading their consciousness. The body has 72,000 subtle channels, with three primary ones: the lunar, solar, and central channels. Balance between the lunar and solar energies is essential for health. The cakras are energy centers from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, mapping our evolution from earthly to divine awareness. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant spiritual energy at the base of the spine; its awakening brings clarity and joy, not physical sensations. True yoga is union, harmony, and inner peace.

"Yoga means union, uniting, harmonizing this together. It connects us to God."

The ancient science of Yoga
13:40 - 14:54 (74 min)
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness for human well-being. Humans uniquely possess self-awareness and the capacity for both good and bad. We have the freedom to choose our path. To know ourselves is the goal. Ancient scriptures describe creation emerging from a primordial resonance. The human body is a network of 72,000 nerves and energy centers called cakras. These range from basic physical centers in the feet to divine centers in the head. Purifying these through practices like prāṇāyāma balances the body and mind. Kuṇḍalinī is the latent spiritual energy at the base of the spine. Awakening it is a profound science. Yoga offers practical techniques for health and self-realization. It requires daily dedication, but the benefits are immense.

We honor our lineage and welcome all present, including a renowned scholar of the Vedas. Human intellect is superior but requires teaching. Despite societal influences, few understand all humanity. We must concentrate on the Jīvātmā. Yoga is the supreme science for humans, extending beyond postures and breath. This work has spread globally over decades, with seeds now sprouting. The path requires selfless surrender. A seed must bury itself and forget its own life to become a tree that bears fruit for society.

The Practice and Power of Trāṭaka
17:00 - 17:52 (52 min)
Trāṭaka is the practice of steady gazing to develop concentration and purify the mind. The best object is a pure ghee lamp flame, though a candle flame, a black dot, or a sacred image are also suitable. Never gaze at your own reflection in a mirror, as it can cause psychic disturbances. Gazing at the rising sun should last only half a minute to protect eyesight. This practice dispels fear, anxiety, and mental impurities, clearing the inner instrument. When performed with discipline every morning and evening for twelve years without a single break, it bestows a siddhi: the gaze becomes pure and merciful, attracting others. However, this attainment is blocked by a negative internal state. The practice awakens Sarasvatī's power in the throat, granting eloquent speech and artistic intuition. It illuminates the inner space, calms mental fluctuations, and aids in awakening the Kuṇḍalinī. It also empowers speech, making words balanced and meaningful, while teaching the importance of non-violence in speech, as verbal wounds are deep and lasting. Full benefit requires a personal Guru Mantra and guidance from a qualified teacher to avoid mental problems. The practical method involves sitting straight, establishing the correct distance to the flame, repeating the mantra, and alternating between external gazing and internal focus on the after-image.
"By practicing Trāṭaka every morning and evening without interruption for twelve years, one attains a siddhi."
"Only Gurudev can remove the darkness of the heart."

System of the chakras and the sound
18:00 - 19:00 (60 min)
The Ājñā Chakra is reached through the foundational energy of the navel. Crossing into this chakra is difficult, as the ego arises at every border between states of being. Lower emotions can pull consciousness back down. All paths are correct, yet all beings share a common root. For those born from a mother, this root is the navel, the seat of the solar fire. All chakras originate from this center in the Maṇipūra. The primordial sound, the seed of all language and vibration, also emanates from here. This sound is the essence of life and consciousness, connecting all beings through an unseen language of energy. A practice exists to awaken this connection. Place one hand on the navel and another on the head. Chant the sound inwardly, allowing resonance to travel upward without physical movement. This kriyā purifies the energy channels and brings clarity.

Utilizing the Vajra Nadi
20:10 - 21:05 (55 min)
The Vajra Nāḍī is the strong trunk needed to balance the three primary energy channels. Our systems are in chaos because people change authentic names and teachings, leading everyone astray. Āyurveda is the best but is now untrustworthy due to conflicting advice. Yoga is similarly confused; even the Bhagavad Gītā's 18 Yogas are ignored. Sanskrit and reality are unchangeable, like a poem. Our body has sections: divine above, human and animal in the middle, and vegetative below. The Vajra Nāḍī, meaning iron-strong, is the foundational support. It is located between the big and second toes, connecting to the navel. Balance in the navel is essential; an imbalanced pulse indicates physical issues and blocks spiritual progress. A simple leg-stretching technique can correct this. Without this balance, practices like prāṇāyāma will not awaken the kuṇḍalinī.
